I would say not genetics through, at least not to an extend. it's a myth that just because your father is bald but your mother's father has hair that you'll have hair when you are older. It's basically a toss of the coin depending on which parent you look at. However, hormones can play an important role in determining this.
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. It is responsible for many factors such as thick voice, muscle, facial hair, sex drive and so on. Low testosterone levels has been shown to cause negative side effects like hair loss, enlarged breast, possible organ failure, erectile dysfunction e.t.c.
As you age, your body stop producing it's own testosterone naturally, leading to decline. As a result, you might experience negative symptoms.
While most people experience decline in their testosterone levels at early age of 20's, some are lucky to get pass till their thirties. Yea, the hair loss issue is real. Most people who go legit bald, start balding in noticeable in their twenties. While most people are likely to start experience balding at early 50's. A guy called "more plates more dates" talks about hair loss a lot. He says almost everyone is prone to balding to some extent. Very few people are a thick noorwood 0 at age seventy.
Schwarzenegger is excellent considering his age. He had all his hair for at least 70 years before he had any noticeable hair loss. He was like a noorwood 2 or so back then. Would you say that's all his hair? To me "0" hair loss means a noorwood "0 or 1". Lol, the average person probably wouldn't be able to tell a difference between a noorwood 0 or noorwood 2. Anything pass or noorwood 2 or noticeable thinning is when others can tell you are starting to loose it.
We can't deny the fact that genetics also plays an important part in this. However, not everyone in a family will experience balding. For example, his dad is bald but he is not. You guess that his dad genetics doesn't exist in his DNA? Not true!!! Most times it could be caused by low testosterone levels. Normal total testosterone levels range from approximately 300 to 1000ng/ml. There is no absolute consensus among different medical organization for the exact cut off for low testosterone. Once you start to experience hair loss, it is difficult to reverse but not impossible. The goal is to raise your testosterone to a normal levels.
